​MEN'S AND LADIES' GOLF RESULTS: WEDNESDAY 2ND OF AUGUST 2017Well; the 12 souls who turned up on Wednesday didn't have to be quite as intrepid as was necessary on the Sunday just gone, because the sun shone, there was no wind, and the balls ricocheted off the putting surfaces due to the heavy frost for about 7-8 holes. But, all in all, it was a really beautiful winter's day. We welcomed Brett Thomas, visiting from Jindabyne GC, due to their course currently being the site of disc golf in the snow.MEN'S RESULTS: STABLEFORDThe winner on the day, with a good score, was Craig WIlliams with 34 points, followed closely by Bill Quin in second with 33 points, and third and fourth were decided on count back with 31 points.
